I could see him being worked out, but there just isn't much there. The only positive I see is the familiarity in a West Coast type offense when he played in Minnesota. I just think, whatever positives that a workout would do for him still, in my eyes, not put him over players we have currently on the roster. The fact that he crashed and burned hard w/ Baltimore, a team reeling a bit from losing their #1 TE . . . doesn't speak well of him.

I agree with you but I'm thinking that they saw Dickenson and shaincoe as 2 in the same mold so it was more of a luxury to have shaincoe than a need.

All the cuts this week are marginal players, either injured, over the hill, or too green to help immediately. We need a TE that can step in and help right away.
There will be a price to be paid. I am very skeptical that we will be that fortunate. There are a lot of teams that need a quality TE, there will be a bidding war.
I think our best bet is to develop our own guy, Sims, and try to grab another one with long term potential. We will not be able to replace Keller..that much is certain.
